NASEO and the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE) held a joint webinar on June 29, 2015 focusing on Clean Power Plan tools for the states. While NASEO does not take a position on the proposed EPA rule, should the rule move forward NASEO supports wide flexibility for states to develop compliance strategies that best address their situations and that support least-cost options, such as those often provided by energy efficiency. The tools and analyses discussed in the webinar and other resources found on NASEO State 111(d) Resource Hub can help states to develop their Clean Power Plan strategies.
